TRACY to get two new portable classrooms next fall
Student's desks pushed to the wall.
Learning is hard with no place to sit.
Hoping this will help just a little bit.
Promised a new school one after next
But how we'll pay for it leaves me perplexed.
D is for delivery. Tomorrow I am scheduled to have new computer my brother sent me delivered. I can go back to writing letters that nobody answers.
Policies are in place
That they do not want to face.
Still they formed a committee of Ad Hoc
Even though the public they mock.
Because it's more money they need
And it's only the Mayor who can lead.
So they'll make their meaningless report
Because only Judy has the answers of last resort.
Political constipation
Before
Public urination.
Money backed up
While
Liquor flows.
Time for conversation
About
The need for intervention.
At least that's how the story goes
Where the truth lies
Few actually know.
Not as likely as it may seem
That doesn't stop them from selling the dream.
Making sure the pipeline is full
But of what is bull.
For shiny buildings we will pay
With higher taxes at the end of the day.
Plans for more debt has soared
But we need learning we can afford.
Although I posted the ideaa couple years ago with an example from ain friend who teaches in WV who used crowdfunding website DONORS CHOOSE, I was glad to see the idea get some traction.
Credit goes to JARED NICHOLSON for getting the idea some renewed attention. Questions of equity may eventually sabotage this idea though.
Props to JARED for working hard though.
The Superintendent to be evaluated
On how well a job done to be rated.
Bet it'll be like once before
When the results they chose to ignore.
Her spending skills the MAYOR did question.
Yet despite her very public profession
She voted to give her more money to go a messin'.
To replace Pickering they've met
As they place their bet.
Time lines have been set
Politicans will regret
That voters won't forget
The new taxes they get
After locations they vet
Even though construction is far from set.
Both Richard Wall and Jennifer Ciampi became Vocational Department Heads at LVTI. Congrats!
The English High Bulldog cheerleaders will be heading to the NATIONAL competition in Myrtle Beach, NC from March 17-21, 2016. This is a big deal!
How are we going to pay
For another new school without delay?
Pickering's price may cause a stay.
Raising taxes are the only way.
They'll be plenty of spin, come what may
But the truth'll come out at the end of the day.
Crumbling buildings
Yet record raises.
To insure they continue
Singing each other's praises.
Old texts and crowded classes
Twisting the truth to cover a$$e$.
Literally, I'm not kidding. Shannon Gardener has been appointed Assistant Director of Curriculum and Intruction for HUMANITIES. Glad to see the past elevated to begin to play a role in shaping our future.
A side note here, the chairman of the Chemistry department at my alma mater, WV WESLEYAN graduated from MIT and was a HUMANITIES professor as well. You see there's more to STEM than just SCIENCE and MATH. After all, life is the best laboratory.
It's almost budget time again
Yet still no answer for our past sin.
Laws the city did break not bend
To the schools, the Mayor's no friend.
Political incest
Public access
Making mess
To guarantee success
Giving his best
Until facts confessed
Will not rest
Before truth to test.
Up to poetry once again
To point out a political sin.
Once again on the watch
So ETHICS they do not botch.
Cause it's only a matter of time
Until the truth comes in rhyme.
Conflict it can expose
Cause corruption it does expose.
Cancel classes
To cover a##$@
Pointed out flaw
Against the law?
Never truly admit
Why the quit.
But amid the muck
Out goes Chuck.
Things are not the same
As they were not long before.
Don't look now LPS,
It's the death of the Common Core.
You see it's the INDIVIDUAL
We've learned to value more
Not just some cold
And artificial test score.
My computer has
A flesh eating virus
Proving that there is
A hater among us.
Still attempts to silence
Me have been a bust.
Thanks to my brother
Who I trust
A new one is on
The way so that just
LPS'S balls I'll
Continue to bust.
This JACKPOT will be split evenly among all students in the LPS schools. Teachers have been instructed to put the winning share in their students backpacks on the Friday before winterbreak.
The winnings from this latest edition of the MASS MULTI-MILLIONS game is called POWERBILL and each student will receive an invoice for $1000 to make up for the city's shortfall for state mandated education spending.
ALL QUESTIONS MAY DIRECTED TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE!
Tracy school to be featured next season on THIS OLD HOUSE. The school will be featured next fall as part of a new crossover event with ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. This just another example of the MAYOR'S efforts to bring HOLLYWOOD to LYNN.
LPS has a program called
Community Enrichment.
In actual reality, the public
Is plainly told to get bent.
Perhaps some ethics they
Clearly need lent
Hopefully to the teacher of
Volleyball they're not paying a cent!
Rush to violate
In attempt to elevate
Scores on test we participate
On matters toward we gravitate
To prevent discussion they hate
So disagreements come too late
Guarantees your plan to be great
Business as usual at any rate.
Got a "WELLNESS CHECK" yesterday. I guess the fact I haven't been blogging lately was concerning.
Well it seems like my computer caught a flesh-eating virus several months ago and after limping along for what seems like forever my computer finally went dark. With the holidays I haven't been up to running to the library or using my phone to do it.
Call me lazy but the elections kind of tired me out too. Since it is a new year I will just have to rebuild my computer and step it up!
